A can of soda cost $3 at the gift shop. The day clerks were kind and accommodating, but the night clerks were snobby and rude. Don't stay here; other than the location, the property was lacking.2017-11-11"

"The hotel smelled old, wasn't clean, and was desperately in need of repairs. There was mold in the bathtub, and a big hole in the back of the toilet. This was our 2nd room, after the shower didn't work in the 1st room. There was hair on the wall. We didn't sleep well. The front desk clerk was kind and gave us breakfast vouchers, but we didn't feel comfortable eating there. We even had to pay for parking. We wouldn't stay here again.2021-06-20"

"Easy check-in. The complimentary breakfast was just a basket of granola bars, though.2019-07-06"
"The hotel wasn't luxurious, but the accommodations were good. The room had everything I needed, and I appreciated that the heating and cooling unit wasn't too loud and didn't disturb my sleep. I also liked that the bathroom light and exhaust fan had separate switches. The kitchen was just what I needed. The staff was friendly. Skimpy breakfast, but there was a large supermarket in a mall across the street.2018-12-15"
"The guests upstairs stomped around all night long. The hotel staff was accommodating. I'd stay here again.2017-11-05"
"I requested a room on the 1st floor since I use a walker, but I was given a room on the 3rd floor of the hotel. The fire alarm went off shortly after I checked in; I couldn't use the stairs, and the elevator didn't work, so it was a scary experience.2017-10-14"

I highly recommend staying here.2020-03-28"

"The room color scheme was drab and dreary. The bed was way too soft and sagged in the middle. I changed rooms, but the bed was the same. No exhaust fan in the bathroom. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, and breakfast was good. Excellent shuttle service. Stay somewhere else.2021-10-29"

"Close to the medical center. The hotel room was clean and comfortable. It took us a minute to figure out the elevator, but a quick tutorial from another guest did the trick. Check-in and checkout were efficient and pleasant. We ate in the restaurant; it was convenient, and the food was good, and we enjoyed a drink at the bar. The server was friendly and remained calm when it was busy. I'd stay here again.2021-07-01"
"Great location. The hotel and employees were lovely. The heating and cooling systems in both our rooms roared and hummed with a resonating frequency that kept us awake. We turned off the AC and enjoyed the extraordinarily comfortable beds. Breakfast was fantastic.2021-05-10"
"Good room with a comfortable bed, huge desk, and great towels. You can cook in the kitchenette if you're staying for a few days. Definitely stay at this hotel.2016-11-19"

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
